Allow me to extend a heartfelt congratulations to team Vas Mani, the small but dedicated group of Origin Systems fans that competed in Extra Life this year. Because as of today, the team has reached its fundraising goal!

It would seem that a donation to Kenneth Munson was what pushed the team to 122% of its stated goal ($500 raised), which is just awesome. So thank you to whomever donated to Kenneth!

Extra Life is, officially, tomorrow, although some of us will be breaking our play out into shorter sessions over the course of the coming few days. To those of you participating tomorrow, enjoy!

And hey…even though we’ve hit our goal, there’s no reason that any of you who have been meaning to donate can’t still do so. The need of CMN hospitals and the children they help never ceases, and isn’t bound by arbitrary goals and limits. The more that is contributed, the more children can benefit from care at CMN hospitals. So if you haven’t but have been meaning to…donate today!
